Description Tomando al género como categoría de análisis, en el presente trabajo se estudia la asociación entre los estilos de vida para el caso de Argentina, cuantificando las diferencias reveladas entre varones y mujeres respecto al consumo de alcohol y tabaco, a los hábitos alimenticios y al nivel de actividad física que realizan. Para ello se realiza un análisis multivariado de correspondencia múltiple y se estima un modelo log-lineal de asociación empírica. Los resultados muestran diferencias de género significativas, apoyando la hipótesis de que los hombres afirman su masculinidad y se legitiman como el sexo fuerte por medio de comportamientos poco saludables.
Taking gender as a category of analysis, in this paper the association between lifestyles is analyzed for the Argentinean case, quantifying the revealed differences between men and women. Specifically the alcohol and tobacco consumption, dietary habits and level of physical activity are considered in the lifestyle category. A multiple correspondence analysis is performed and a log-linear model of empirical association is estimated. The results show significant gender differences supporting the hypothesis that men affirm their masculinity and are legitimized as the stronger sex through unhealthy behaviors.
